Well I have a little bit of weird news that I came across this week and I felt this was

absolutely something you guys needed to hear as well. So I'm just going to read the

headline of one of a sample of articles all around the same topic. Cash-strapped farmers feed candy to cows.

Oh!

This is the result of corn becoming so expensive now that farmers, dairy farmers and cow farmers, is become

pricing out of them to give the cows as high a percentage of corn in their diet as

they did before. So for beef cows in particular, they need to have a high sugar diet.

It fattens them up, they need the energy, it's not so much the nutritional value of the candy that they're worried about.

So what farmers have started doing is buying secondhand and leftover broken candy,

things like that from candy companies and are mixing it in with the feed

that they give to the cows because it's cheaper than buying

corn. The cows are literally eating candy corns and tutsi rolls and crushed up candy canes and things like that.

It's insane.

Oh man, I wonder if they enjoy it more.
